Launch offer terms & conditions

1. Overview

This offer is available to a limited number of first ForgePoint clients. For a one-off fee of $100 NZD, ForgePoint will design and build a landing/display website for the Client, register or configure a domain, provide hosting, and cover basic maintenance free of charge until the promotion end date set out below.

No payment is required until the demo site is built and the Client is happy with it. The custom domain is only registered and connected once the $100 fee is paid, until then the site is previewed on a temporary link.

2. What's Included

A custom-designed landing/display website (informational pages: home, about, services, contact, and similar).

A .co.nz domain, registered via Metaname (cost included in the $100 fee).

Hosting, free of charge for the length of the promotion (see section 4).

A working contact form, supporting up to 250 submissions per month.

Free hosting, monitoring and basic maintenance through to the promotion end date.

3. What's Not Included

This offer covers static, front-end websites only. It does not include full-stack functionality (booking systems, e-commerce, user logins, or any feature needing a database or server-side processing), a CMS, blog or article-posting functionality, or ongoing content changes beyond what was agreed at build (available as a paid extra).

Any request outside this scope will be quoted separately and is not covered by the $100 promotional price.

4. Hosting & Traffic

Hosting under this offer runs on infrastructure that comfortably covers a typical small business website's traffic and enquiries, with no fixed usage cap to worry about.

If the Client's traffic ever grows well beyond typical small business levels, ForgePoint will discuss upgrading to a higher hosting plan before any issue arises, at no surprise cost to the Client.

The Client may choose to self-host instead, in which case ForgePoint will simply deliver the finished files (see section 8).

5. Contact Forms

Contact forms are provided via a free-tier form service, which allows up to 250 submissions per month. Submissions beyond this limit are not covered by the $100 promotion and would need to be discussed separately.

6. Promotion End Date & Transition

Free hosting and maintenance under this promotion ends 4 January 2027 (the first working day of the year). From this date, continuing to host and maintain the site becomes a paid arrangement (see section 7).

Before the deadline, ForgePoint will reach out: an initial email approximately two weeks before 4 January 2027 outlining options, a follow-up email and phone call if there is no response within a week, and a text message if the call goes unanswered.

A one-week transition period is provided after 4 January 2027, during which ForgePoint continues to help retrieve files or transfer ownership before free hosting is wound down.

7. Continuing Service After the Promotion

If the Client wishes to continue with ForgePoint hosting and maintenance beyond 4 January 2027, this becomes a paid monthly arrangement, tailored to the Client's needs and agreed in advance. Full tier pricing is on the Services page.

Exact pricing will be confirmed with the Client individually before the promotion ends. There is no obligation to continue, the Client is free to take their files and host elsewhere at no cost.

8. Ownership & Files

The Client owns their domain, content and the final website. If the Client chooses to self-host from the outset, ForgePoint will simply deliver the finished files rather than deploying to a ForgePoint hosting account. On request, or at the end of the promotion, ForgePoint will hand over all relevant files and assist with any ownership transfer needed (for example, domain or hosting account access).

9. In Return

In exchange for this promotional pricing, we ask the Client to provide a short testimonial and a Google Business review once the site is live, and to allow ForgePoint to use the site as a portfolio piece or case study.

10. Client Responsibilities

Providing website content (text, images, logo and similar) in a reasonably timely manner.

Responding to ForgePoint's communications regarding the site and the promotion end date.

Keeping domain contact and renewal details up to date where applicable.
